SaGa Series Goes To Smartphones With Emperors Saga

After Unlimited SaGa boggled fans with its board game meets slot machine system, Square Enix briefly revived the SaGa series with a bunch of remakes. Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song kicked off the SaGa renaissance followed by two Game Boy to Nintendo DS conversions.

The next game in the series will be released almost a decade after Unlimited Saga. Square Enix has Emperors SaGa for GREE slated for a summer 2012 release. This mobile phone game will be a freemium title, meaning it’s free to play, but some items will cost money.

Square Enix says the game’s genre is RPG (surprise!), but no other details about Emperors SaGa have been revealed.
